THE CLUB

A network of enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the Nissan/Datsun Z Car through regularly scheduled meetings, newsletters, occasional sporting, display and social events.

The Ontario Z Car Owner's Association (OZC) is a not for profit organization originally founded in October 1993 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. OZC was formally incorporated in 2000 at London, Ontario. The Club is dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the Nissan/Datsun Z Car.

Ontario Z Car is open to all and any interested owners of the Nissan/Datsun Z Car. Although the club is primarily focused on the Z Car we also encourage owners of related Nissan/Datsun vehicles such as the 510, 1200, and 1600/2000 Roadsters to join. Members of the club are not required to be residents of Ontario or even Canada.

The “Flying Z” first appeared in the club newsletter in May ’95. The Red circle behind the Z represents the Japanese origin of the Z. Just look at the Japanese national flag. The faux granite finish of the Z represents the age and timeless nature of the vehicle. The tattered checkered flag speaks for itself.

The 1st official elections were held Nov. 93 electing the first executive:

The OZC Club met monthly (1st Tuesday at 8pm), and we had several club events planned along with 9-10 newsletters. Membership was only $25/yr. but we had no club insurance nor any affiliation with anyone who could provide it. We spent 11/93 - 11/94 building membership to 40 active members. Our first official scheduled club event was a BBQ in an Oshawa park ...it was rained out and everyone got lost anyway (This led to the decision for the need for an Events Director on future executives). We did successfully execute several club events like a Show & Shine, Cruises, and participation on the track at Mosport.
